Chapter 225 : Epilogue (4)
Chapter 225 : Epilogue (4)
The meal that followed was filled with laughter.
"Now, let's see the presents!"
At Pola's shout, everyone's gaze turned to Lucas.
"Ah, right. The presents."
As Lucas took out his subspace pocket from his bosom, everyone's eyes filled with anticipation.
"First, this is for mother."
Blain's eyes widened at the sight of what Lucas had taken out.
"Oh my!"
"It's a sachet. I made it myself using flowers from Divanos."
"My goodness..."
Although sachet pouches that maintained their scent with magic were common, Blain's eyes became moist at the words that Lucas had made it himself.
"This is for father."
"Ahem! For me too?"
Cibie asked, his eyes shining with anticipation.
"Of course."
The present Lucas took out for Cibie was a small pouch.
"Oh! Is mine a sachet too?"
"No. It's a subspace pocket."
At that, everyone's eyes widened.
"Where on earth did you get that? I wanted to get one too, but I haven't been able to yet!"
The surprised Nella shouted, her eyes shining.
"There's a way."
"Such a precious item!"
Although Lucas had also gone through all sorts of hardships to get that precious item again, he decided not to say anything.
"And Pola and Skir."
The next present was a couple's robe for Pola and Skir.
"Oh my, it's so pretty!"
"Thank you!"
Their eyes sparkled as if they were waiting for Lucas's explanation to follow.
"I'll explain that separately."
As Lucas winked, the two of them gave a small cough as if they understood and carefully handed the robe to a servant.
"And this is for Nella."
"Yay! Is this it? I knew you could get it if you were my brother!"
As Lucas slowly nodded his head, Nella immediately cast a protection spell and protected the pouch.
What was handed to Nella was also a pouch, but it seemed that only Nella recognized it.
"But where did you get this?"
"There's a way."
It was what Nella had been looking for, searching the entire continent.
And Lucas had heard that rumor.
'What kind of research is she doing that she needs a chimera's eye...'
The eye of a chimera, which could be considered extinct now. Nella was looking for it.
"Use it carefully."
"Of course!"
Although everyone's faces were filled with curiosity, they didn't ask.
There must be something that only the two of them knew.
"And this is for Amarok."
"Thank you."
What was handed to Amarok was none other than a small stick.
"Huh? That!"
The eyes of Pola and Skir, who had recognized it, widened.
"Right. It's the one you wielded at the entrance banquet."
"My goodness! Where did you get such an antique!"
"There's a way."
It was the staff that Skir had wielded at the entrance banquet, boasting of his great family.
"Wield it carefully, Amarok."
"Yes."
"And this is for Lewin."
Finally, a pendant was handed to Lewin.
"My goodness. You're giving such a precious thing to a child?"
"Shh."
The one who had recognized that item was, of course, Nella.
"It would be more helpful if you were with Nella, but..."
As Lucas had felt, Lewin also had a very high affinity for nature.
"A great spirit master will come out of your sister's house."
It was a pendant that increased one's affinity for spirits.
"Thank you..."
Everyone burst out laughing at Lewin's cute, lisping voice, which sounded like it was crawling.
"Oh dear! How cute!"
"It's not because she's my daughter, but she's really cute, isn't she? Right?"
The dinner continued in a friendly atmosphere.
"Now, then, shall we all make a toast?"
Nella first stepped forward and raised her glass.
"A toast is good!"
"To celebrate Lucas oppa's return!"
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
Lucas also raised his glass high.
'This is happiness.'
It was the emotion he liked the most among the many emotions he felt while living as a human.
The happiness he felt when he was with his loved ones.
'I shouldn't leave again.'
He didn't want to lose this feeling.
'It's enough for me to protect my family.'
Even if his back were to be broken in a fight between gods.
***
Time flew by.
The people around him lived their lives as written in the book of life and left, and Lucas wanted to watch over their souls being guided.
And the main god granted his request, and now it was finally his turn to leave.
Lucas's hands, which had not changed his appearance with polymorph, were full of wrinkles.
"Hoo."
If he didn't take his medicine, his old body had no strength.
"I have no strength."
He was out of breath.
[Darling~]
"Why did you come? Where are the angels?"
He had a lot he wanted to say when he met them.
[Who? Kirita?]
The ones who had first come down to guide him.
"Right. Bring that kid named Flang or Palang too."
[Why them~]
Amore shook his shoulders, flipping his blond hair.
"Don't flirt."
[Oh my, darling! You finally realized that this is flirting?]
Amore's nasal voice became even higher.
"Amore, I want to remain a human who humbly accepts death. Not die while trying to annihilate you."
[Oh my! Darling, you too!]
Lucas would now walk the path of a god, not the path of reincarnation.
As if to prove that, a white halo of light began to descend in front of him.
[Darling, let's go!]
Amore's voice, which was endlessly excited, as if they were going on an outing.
"How absurd."
He wondered if this was the proper etiquette to show a dying human, but... what did it matter?
He knew that only his physical body would die and disappear.
'I know that the others are also living well somewhere...'
That was why he was not sad when his family left one by one, and when his friends left.
'I can take care of those who are left.'
Leaving was not sad.
When the barrier he had set up in the room disappeared, the others would also know of his death.
'It's a pity.'
Lucas, who had looked around the place where he was lying, smirked.
"Let's go."
[Right!]
Amore, who was overwhelmed with the dream he could finally achieve, held out his bulky hand.
-Saaaa...
As Lucas took it, Lucas's soul rose with the white halo of light.
***
The celestial world he had arrived at was the same as his last visit.
The white tables and chairs placed in the white space.
If there was anything different, it was that last time he had been with two angels, but this time he was with Amore and the main god.
"Hoo!"
At the end, Lucas had deliberately not used any medicine to feel a complete death.
"I feel alive now."
As the stuffiness of his old body disappeared, the words that he felt alive came out on their own.
"You're dead... are you crazy?"
At that, Amore looked at Lucas with worried eyes and clung to him.
"Get away from me, Amore."
"Eeeing! Darling, you hate me so much!"
Amore hit Lucas's shoulder with his large arm.
"Ugh!"
Was this what it felt like for one's soul to be shaken?
Lucas had felt a threat to his life, no, a threat to his soul, just a moment ago.
"You're overreacting."
The main god said, looking at Lucas, who was clutching his solar plexus.
"Aman?"
He had missed him and missed him for his whole life.
"The angels went to get him... he'll be here soon?"
"Everything went wrong because of you!"
The main god's mouth protruded, but what did he care?
"He's here."
He had missed him so much.
That silver-blue hair.
"Lord!"
Blue pupils.
"Aman."
Even his shrill voice.
He hadn't cried even when his parents had left.
Because he knew exactly where they were going.
But now, tears welled up.
"Aman..."
Aman ran towards Lucas.
"Lord!"
He hugged him tightly.
"Tsk. What a couple of the century."
"Tsk. He didn't even do that for me!"
He couldn't hear what the main god and Amore were chattering about.
"Are you okay? Why on earth are you still just a soul?"
"I was waiting."
Lucas's eyes widened.
"For me?"
At that, Aman nodded his head vigorously.
"Why on earth?"
"I can't become a god before the Lord, can I!"
At his bright answer, Lucas smirked, but the feeling of longing welled up again.
"So you just stayed here and waited for me?"
Aman nodded his head vigorously.
"You let him do that?"
As Lucas looked at the main god and smiled, he awkwardly turned his head away.
"Ahem, ahem. Well, it's only been a few decades."
"Isn't the vacant position an important one?"
"It is! That's why I had to work twice as hard!"
Amore's grumbling was also heard.
"It's only been a few decades, hasn't it?"
The main god poked Amore's side.
"Please don't act so friendly. It's a little burdensome."
Lucas and Aman burst out laughing at Amore's straight face.
"What have you been doing here all this time, Aman? In this white and boring place."
"Huh? Boring? It's all visible from here. So I watched the Lord and my father from time to time. Ah, and I've already coaxed a few angels, so I've been living comfortably."
"The angels?"
Kirita and Flang appeared behind Lucas, who was nodding his head vigorously.
"Aigoo~ who is this~"
Kirita came towards Lucas, extending her hands in an exaggerated way.
"Ho-oh. Right. I wanted to see you."
"H-ha! M-me?"
"Right. You."
The culprit who had made him live with his full memories by feeding him the water of oblivion, which was not even supposed to be.
"W-why would you want to see me...?"
Kirita's pupils shook violently.
"I don't know. It's been so long..."
As Lucas, who was smiling wryly, approached him, Kirita stumbled back.
"H-ha... why would someone who is about to sit on the throne of a god... want to see a mere angel like me..."
"That's what I'm saying. Why... ah! I think I remember now."
"...?"
"I was going to twist your neck."
As a huge sword formed in Lucas's hand, Flang quickly hid Kirita behind him and shouted.
"Aigoo! Lucas-nim, please calm down!"
"Let go! It's a pity I couldn't twist that bastard's neck last time because of you!"
The eyes of those standing around widened at Lucas's violent movements.
"How can the Lord take out a weapon here?"
"R-right?"
The voices of the flustered Aman and Amore.
"My authority is still there."
The voice of the main god, who was answering them.
"Now, that's enough."
As the main god gestured, the weapon that had been in Lucas's hand disappeared in an instant.
"What's enough!"
"Hoho! Sit down. I know you had no intention of harming that child."
At that, Lucas snorted once and sat down.
"On the day I become a god..."
As Lucas made a gesture of slitting his throat with his hand, Kirita shivered and quickly hid.
"Now, I've been looking forward to this day, so I won't say much."
"Hoo. I was hoping this day wouldn't come."
"Whether you wanted it or not, this day has come!"
The main god's voice was excited.
"So what's my position?"
"The demon god."
"...I don't want to."
A demon god! Hadn't he shuddered at the thought of demons?
"Even though that soul has a place to go only if you sit in that position?"
It was a moment before Lucas felt a doubt at the main god's words.
"Lanos-nim."
Lucas's eyes widened as a new soul, who had appeared next to him, called his name from his previous life.
"Hah."
"I almost died again because of that bastard, you know?"
Aman shouted, pointing at the new soul.
"Shut up, you blue lizard."
"Yastan."
Yastan Ulfa. The dead Demon King was here.
"What is he doing here again?"
"He said he wanted to serve you for the rest of his life when you become a god."
"So I have to become a demon god?"
"Oh, that's not it. That position was originally yours."
He was speechless and had nothing to say.
"Now, now, how about we take care of the piled-up work first and then talk about the rest?"
The main god, who was sitting in his seat, extended one hand.
"You, joy..."
"Uh, uh!"
-Saaaa...
Before Aman could even say anything, his body was engulfed in a brilliant light.
"You, the demon world and hell..."
"Even hell?!"
-Saaaaa...
"You, become a servant for the demon god."
"Yes."
-Saaaaa...
The main god, who was sitting alone at the table where no one was left, let out a long sigh.
"Hoo... everything has finally returned to its place."
"You've worked hard."
"Right. You've all worked hard too."
The main god's pupils shook for a moment.
"Aigoo. This shouldn't be happening already!"
The expressions of the angels also became flushed at the main god's flustered voice.
"W-what's wrong?"
"...The new goddess of joy is running wild. It seems she's not happy about becoming a goddess."
"Heok."
What could he do? It had already happened.
"A-ahem. I'll have to leave for a bit."
The main god got up from his seat in a hurry.
"And tell everyone that they've worked hard!"
"What are we going to do if you leave like this!"
A halo of light enveloped the main god's body.
"Ah! And be sure to tell them thank you!"
After going around and around, everything returned to its place.
To the place where they should be.
Epilogue (End)

Hello! This is Chiki Chiki Yongari.
First of all, I would like to express my infinite gratitude to the readers who have been with me until here.
My first work, 'Reincarnated Dragon Goes to the Academy!', is a work with many shortcomings in many ways.
Nevertheless, thank you so much for being with Lucas on his difficult journey until the end.
I remember vividly when I was conceptualizing the character of Lucas.
I like dragons the most among fantasy characters. The reason is because they are cool!!!
I thought it was so cool that they could freely use magic and were the strongest beings who reigned over the surface.
That's why there is a high probability that a dragon will appear among the characters in my next work, but it will not be the main character.
And when Aman died... I also cried. (;ㅁ;)
While working on this work, I realized what a great fortune it is to be able to live while doing what I love.
I am a lucky person. That's why I will write even if there is only one reader who reads my writing.
I am preparing for my next work. I will bring it as soon as possible as soon as it is ready. I will try to present a slightly better writing in my next work, so please be sure to look for it!
I, who live on the comments and interest of my readers, will continue to live, trying to attract the interest of my readers with my writing.
Chiki Chiki Yongari is nothing without my readers.
I ask for your continued criticism and encouragement.
To everyone who has been with my writing! I will pray that you get health in your breath in and wealth in your breath out.
Be happy.
Sincerely, Chiki Chiki Yongari.
^Gong^Geum^
